This would be used to perform confirmatory Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) testing on all blood, tissue and cell donations that were reactive in the initial screening assays. The National Microbiology Reference Unit (NMRU) also performs NAT screening on any blood, tissue and cell donations that fail, or were not suitable for NAT testing, on the automated Donor Testing platforms. This Tender covered the purchase and installation of one (1) Nucleic Acid Extraction System. This included the software, training, and equipment and associated maintenance required for their operation. The supplier should act as the Principal Contractor and should be responsible for the supply, installation and commissioning of the replacement system and associated equipment.£80k
